Prof. Dimitar Vatsov will present his research proposal on the topic: &quot;What Do We Do When We Say &quot;This Is the Truth!&quot;?&quot; on 21 April 2016 (Thursday) at 16:30h at CAS Conference Hall.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nSummary:\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nI will examine truth-telling as a specific performative in John Austin&#39;s sense: as a performative utterance made here and now in a situational and indexically-oriented context. That is to say, my project takes a maximally pragmatic and contextual approach to truth-telling in the spirit of ordinary language philosophy.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nThe comparison between performatives of the &quot;It is true!&quot; type and a particular type of commands &#8211; such as &quot;Take as an example!&quot;, &quot;Do this always!&quot;, or &quot;Follow the rule!&quot; &#8211; is distinctive and constructive for my analysis. It is through this comparison that I will try to find the basic meaning of the performatives that declare the truth: telling the truth is a practical gesture of providing an example, an instance, a sample, a model to be followed.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nBut unlike explicit commands, which usually indexically indicate the concrete situational circumstances as well as the speaker and addressee of the command, truth-telling hides the situational context in which such an utterance is made. Hence the need to demonstrate that truth-telling is a specific performative whose main function is to produce maximum de-indexicalization and, thereby, maximum generalization of what is declared to be true: it is a practical gesture of de-contextualizing the utterance, through which the utterance should produce an extra-contextual standard to be followed. This is the performative purpose of such utterances &#8211; their &quot;pragmatic implication&quot; in the sense of Stanley Cavell (1998: 9ff.).\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assoc.
